01. Cab It Up
(Smith)
3:46
Cabbing it uptown
You're moving it uptown
You taxi it uptown uptown
And you're moving it southwest
You're cabbing it uptown
You're moving up sideways sideways
And you're cabbing it uptown uptown
Cabbing it uptown
Your business friend
Your business friend's Australian
And when he comes it's Gotterdamerung!
But you're cabbing it uptown
You're moving up south now
You're moving it uptown uptown
Sideways sideways
Main strips! Main strips!
People going, people going
Moving it uptown
And locked in the door bins
Slowly slowly
Jump in! Jump in!
You're cabbing it uptown uptown
But you know the best, Dan
I dunno where I am
I feel like crying
But cabbing it uptown
You're moving up sideways
Moving up slowly
You're cabbing it uptown
(Taxi! .....)
You'd better cab it up slowly
Moving in circles
A Shepherd's Bush man
Eats from a can
He taxi it southwest southwest
He moving it uptown uptown
Uptown Uptown
You'd better cab it up slowly
You'd better taxi it slowly
You'd better cab it slowly
You'd better cab it up
Jump in! Jump in!
Michael! Michael!
02. Dead Beat Descendant
(Smith, ME/Smith, B)
2:25
Shout!
Here's a dance that is pure hell
Enter at your peril
Take five dead beat steps
Do a stroll
Act like you just got outta jail
You must be repellant
Dance dead beat descendant
Dead beat descendant
Shout!
Come back here
Come back here
Turn left shout and shout come back here
Then hot-tail it right outta there
You are now descendant
You are a now descendant
Dead beat descendant
Shout!
Make out your head is in a bell
And you got a man on your trail
And you are descendent, of a vicious criminal
Dead beat descendant's
Dawn!
Dawn!
Dawn!
